I'd love to see a comparison with recent Rust. Looking at that graph with 2013 results, I'm surprise how much slower Rust was compared Haskell and OCaml.

  For fun I started porting the example over: https://gist.github.com/steveklabnik/f86cba4da1dc9c5c68e0 https://gist.github.com/steveklabnik/f86cba4da1dc9c5c68e0 Then I realized that it wasn't totally clear to me what json_list_to_str_vector() should do, exactly, and so I don't even know how it would compare. When this article was written Rust had a big runtime. It was a very different language. OCaml is pretty fast, but I would still expect Rust to fare much, much better today.

It just converts a JSON-encoded list of strings into a Vec<String> doesn't it? That's what the other languages do: * get data from some envvar * decode it from json to an array/list/vector of strings * concatenate argv[1..]to the result of (2) * execute this new argslist (the first item being the name of the program)

      Ah that makes sense. Oh well.
